Searching for RS3's

After the catastrophic engine failure of my RRS

and a huge hit in the pocket

I need to replace my car sooner than expected, I have a Suzuka Grey RS3 on order but delivery is not due until end of June with the possibility of this being pushed back even further. After much deliberation I am going to cancel my order this weekend as I need a car now!
So I am sending out a nationwide plea to the forum members if anyone know of any RS3's for sale? I have tried the usual places..Pistonheads, Autotrader, Audi Website & Ebay but it seems to be the same cars available, I really would rather not have a red or white car or the red tipped wheels to be honest or pay a premium well above the list price (especially as funds taken a severe bashing already.
Any assistance would be gratefully received, please post here or PM me.
Cheers
Funky

I think you're looking for the preverbial hens tooth there. Any new RS3 lingering is going to be at or over list. Numbers are dictating that. Used cars are hard to come by, and prices are strong for now.
See post#77 here

It's a white car, but it is unregistered. Will be list price though.

I know what you mean doodlebug, however i know the cars are out there such as cancelled orders, demo's etc it's just trying to find them, and with the Audi dealer network being so fragmented just hoping someone out there can help.
Thanks for the info on the ibis, I will make some enquiries.

You could try Andrew (Drybeer) who posts on here - He might be able to track something down for you?

There's one at Bramleys and having just brought an rs6 from them, I can totally recommend them. Speak to Martin or Kevin.

Hi Fatneck
Have seen that car on the web very nice example, not too sure about the Hide interior though. Did you happen to see the car in the flesh? perhaps the pictures of the interior don't do it justice.
Cheers

Keep your order as Suzuka grey is audi exclusive
Just buy a cheap run around for a few months for a grand then drive it off a cliff
